So true.

What did you thing of Paige sending Ralph off to work with Sylvester for the night so she could have a night alone with Walter after spending three weeks stranded on an island where Ralph was nearly buried by sand? I know Ralph is a genius, smartest person on the show, and wanted his mother and Walter together for years but it felt wrong the way that played out in the finale.
Well, to be honest, I have often considered Paige more of a self-centered spoiled brat than a mentor to the geniuses. I also didn't like Walter at the start of the series either. But as I have been watching, I think that's part of the appeal of Scorpion. If Paige acted like a calm and wise mentor, she'd be boring. If Walter turned all of the sudden warm and fuzzy, I think that would be the death of the series.
I know Walter's claimed to have loved Paige for a long time, but he's often so removed from day to day humans, I wonder if he really even knows what love's about. As for Paige, I never got the impression she was all that enamored over Walter. I know she's helped him to understand, but he's so far above her intelligence wise, I don't see the connect between them. So for them to suddenly take to the broom closet in one episode and then she sends Ralph away to be with Walter in another episode seems hard to swallow.
Tonight I was rewatching the episode where Tim takes Paige and Ralph to the ball. It's funny you should comment on her mothering skills because I was thinking this very same thing only from a different perspective. Paige and Ralph are talking about Tim and Ralph tells her that if she marries Tim it's ok with him just as long as she's happy. I didn't really care for her reaction to Ralph's approval. She seemed kind of distant and didn't really act as a mother should act.

I kept wondering how such tasks that should be easy fixes for the geniuses somehow turn into complete and total disasters. They ought to be demanding more money that's for sure.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
